Letra da Música The Jolly Roving Tar de Irish Rovers

Well here we are, we're back again safe upon the shore
In Belfast town we'd like to stay and go to sea no more

We'll go into a public house and drink till were content
For the lassies they will love us till our money is all spent

So pass the flowing bowl while there's whisky in the jar
and we'll drink to all the lassies at the Jolly Roving Tar

Oh Johnny did ya miss me
when the nights were long and cold
or did you find another love in your arms to hold

Says he, "I thought of only you while on the sea afar
so come up the stairs
and cuddle with your Jolly Roving Tar! "

So pass the flowing bowl while there's whisky in the jar
and we'll drink to all the lassies at the Jolly Roving Tar

Well in each others arms they rode till the break of day
When the sailor rose and said
"Farewll I must be on me way. "

"Why don't ya leave me Johnny lad
I thought you'd marry me!
"Says he "I can't get married for I'm married to the sea! "

So pass the flowing bowl while there's whisky in the jar
and we'll drink to all the lassies at the Jolly Roving Tar

Well come on you buddy lassies now
a warning take by me
Never trust an Irishman an inch above your knee!

He'll tease you and he'll please you
but when he's had his fun
he'll leave you in the morning with a daughter or a son!

So pass the flowing bowl while there's whisky in the jar
and we'll drink to all the lassies at the Jolly Roving Tar
